(Pardon me if this is old news.) Recently, while I was at my local library returning a book, I spotted a copy of Pattie Boyds book Wonderful Tonight, about her years with Eric Clapton and George Harrison. I checked the index and found Jonis name, page 103. Heres the total of the paragraph: In the summer of 1967 George was working in Los Angeles for a couple of months. We rented a house on Blue Jay Way and met so many fantastic people. Joni Mitchell came over and invited me to hang out with her while George was busy. She was great fun and took me to a studio belonging to a friend of hers where she and some other musicians sat down and played together. One day David Crosby, of the Byrds, invited us to his place in the hills. We arrived to find a swimming pool full of naked people. Not knowing anyone  or, indeed, what to do  we went into the house until David arrived, naked, with a joint in his hand. He soon realized we were not going to join in so he put on his shorts. Next thing, the pool attendant arrived and didnt bat an eyelid, got on with his job. L.A. is wild, I thought. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 09 Jul 2008 01:36:19 -0500 From: "Donna Binkley" Subject: RE: JMDL #127 Joni Mondegreens Mine is this: Now I am surf rising, now parsnips descend at his side... db My personal Joni mondegreen is "You got tubes in your eyes but the songs you punched are dreaming." - -----Original Message----- From: owner-joni@smoe.org [mailto:owner-joni@smoe.org] On Behalf Of Bob.Muller@Fluor.com Sent: Tuesday, July 08, 2008 8:33 AM To: jloehr4988@aol.com Cc: joni@smoe.org Subject: Re: JMDL #127 Joni Mondegreens And the one I suffer from is sort of a reverse Mondegreen...in "Blue" I always heard "ink on a pin" (which was logical as it followed the line about tatoos) but ever since Ashara fessed up and thought it was always "In Konapin" (as if there was a city named Konapin) now THAT is what I hear.
